Boniface del Vasto
Boniface del Vasto (c. 1055–c. 1125) was margrave of Savona and Western Liguria and founder of the del Vasto branch of the Aleramici. He took power after his brothers died in battle and confirmed Savonese privileges in 1084.
After Adelaide of Susa died in 1091, he fought Humbert II of Savoy for the Turin mark and seized Alba, Asti and Turin. In his 1125 will he left his extensive lands to his sons.
The chronicler Geoffrey Malaterra called him the most famous marquis in Italy, and by Agnes of Vermandois he fathered Manfred of Saluzzo and Henry, ancestor of the Del Carretto.
